The content is based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge and the Agile Practice Guide, which serve as the foundation for the CAPM and PMP exam. While this course is not specifically intended to prepare you to take the CAPM or PMP exams, it will provide you exposure to concepts the exams cover, as well as the opportunity to network with other aspiring PMPs on the road to certification.
This program consists of 12 three-hour interactive Zoom sessions. In teams, you will develop a comprehensive project plan and apply principles of creative problem-solving to project needs. Content will be delivered through short cases, articles and online resources.
